Acrocallosal syndrome: a new case

Am J Med Genet. 1991 Jul 1;40(1):94-6. doi: 10.1002/ajmg.1320400119.

Abstract

We describe a 2-month-old infant girl with typical clinical manifestations of the acrocallosal syndrome: characteristic face, agenesis of corpus callosum, polydactyly associated with other anomalies of the extremities, and mental retardation. The importance of a correct nosology and genetic counseling is underlined on the basis of the description of familiar cases of the syndrome.
